well kind of, i guess my main question was if this would/will work as a htcp also. movies and music would be second in use to my emulators
mGalaxy will work as a front-end for anything really - but it is of course geared towards retrogaming emulators. There's nothing to say though that you couldn't amend the Systems.xml to include a new "emulator" (WMP for example) that could be pointed to a directory containing .AVIs or something else. mGalaxy, in it's most basic form, is a program that lists what's in a directory and executes a command on that list. You select a file from a directory - a command runs - you see the results.
Go to "My Computer" or equivalent. Type %appdata% into the location bar at the top. Go into the mGalaxy folder and check out the Systems.xml file. It should be fairly straightforward looking at the existing entries in the file to work out what you need to do to get it to work. Make sure you take a backup of the file before you change anything though!
If you're not sure what you're looking at - reply to the thread or PM me. Either way, myself or another member of the forum will be happy to get something working for you if you think mGalaxy alone is the best route for you.
